Shamanism, Tarot and the World in all its diversity

Smudging fans:

This time of year, late February, we should be having beautiful cooooold winter weather, but instead of that it is raining into our formerly 4 feet of snow that now is quickly melting away, especially because it also is +11 degree centigrade. 😦

All our outside chores like going out into the bush and getting our wood are on hold.

So I am sitting in front of a pile of feathers, furs and recycled leather and give new life and meaning to a few of the wild Bird wings I accumulated over the last few years.

Another wing pinned in the box in the above mentioned post is this following Sharp Shinned Hawk wing.Now it too is dressed up and ready to find an owner 🙂

And as always, to maybe go with these 2 treasures there are 2 Sweetgrass baskets dressed up and filled with Sage, Cedar, Juniper, some incense, some crystals and 2 different large shells suitable for smudging.

One of them is a LARGE clam shell found at the beach of Kouchibouguac NP in New Brunswick. The local Micmac people consider shells from there as powerful “Gebmeg” = good Medicine.

Me:

Mi-Shell Jessen probably best known as a shaman / healer in Muskoka and Southern Ontario. She is a Registered Nurse and a Jungian Therapist by training, but, first and foremost, she is following in the footsteps of her grandmother, the healer-shaman of her tribe, the Uryanchai, in Siberia.
Mi-Shell has practised, taught and used shamanism and shamanic healing pathways with her patients, clients, in schools, Pow Wows and the health care system. She leads circles and gatherings that focus on teaching, healing, ritual, drums and drumming, human growth and well-being.
Bearpaw Jewellery the company Mi-Shell and husband Peter own, is a means for her to translate the mysteries experienced in trance and visions into tangible reality and to share it all with her community.
Her shamanic Medicine pouches, ritual tools and other mixed media art are unique and sought after by collectors.
One of the most important tools of a Medicine Woman is the drum, the heartbeat of Mother Earth and the heartbeat and voice of our soul.
Mi- Shell creates drums and leads the weekly local community drum circle as well as frame drum circles.
The “Healing Drum” is a company Mi-Shell founded to allow her to bring shamanic as well as world rhythm drumming into schools, universities and health care settings.
My Credo:
I am a part of the living Universe and the living Universe is a part of me.
You are a part of the living Universe and the living Universe is a part of you.
All Beings human and none human are equal
